Two Months Later

I 've spent the last month searching for Erica. After my dad was released from the hospital after spending a month in the ICU, I began my search for Erica. I went to her apartment only to find she had moved from the new tenants now living in her old apartment a week before. It seems both Erica and her roommate moved at the same time.

From there, I went to Wannabe's only to be told she didn't leave a forwarding address. I kick myself every day not to have gotten her name or telephone number, but I thought I would have time. I didn't expect to have to rush home for a family emergency.

It's almost like she fell off the face of the Earth. Having no other way to contact her, I resign myself to letting the universe take control and pray that someday we'll meet again.

But until that happens, I need to find a way to keep my mind busy, and finance doesn't have the same appeal it used to. It might be time for a change.
